Police suspect carbon monoxide fumes in deaths of 5 at home

MIAMI, FLORIDA — Five people, including two children, were found dead inside a South Florida home Sunday, likely victims of carbon monoxide poisoning, police said.

The body of a woman was found in a sport-utility vehicle running in the garage, police said. Officers found two children and two adults dead inside the four-bedroom home in southwest Miami-Dade County.

Police were investigating whether the deaths were accidental or part of a murder-suicide plot.

The identities and ages of the victims were not immediately released, pending notification of other family members, Miami-Dade Police spokeswoman Nelda Fonticiella said.

A relative of the victims had not heard from the family in two days and called police when no one answered at the door, Fonticiella said.
